Rachin Ravindra dislocates shoulder during promo shoot, doubtful for India T20Is

New Zealand cricketer Rachin Ravindra may miss the upcoming five-match T20I series against India due to a dislocated shoulder he sustained during a promotional shoot in Auckland. The injury occurred when the left-hander attempted a diving catch and landed awkwardly on a safety mat. While no major structural damage was found by medical specialists, Ravindra's return to competitive action will depend on his rehabilitation progress over the coming weeks.

New Zealand Cricket expressed disappointment over the unfortunate incident and emphasized their priority on Ravindra's recovery. The five-match T20I series is set to commence on October 22, with New Zealand expected to announce its squad the following week. Coach Rob Walter stated that the team would adopt a cautious approach due to an upcoming Test schedule, urging patience in Ravindra's rehabilitation.

Ravindra has been a crucial player in New Zealand's white-ball cricket, scoring 759 runs and taking 26 wickets in 52 T20Is. The New Zealand squad for the India series is anticipated to be announced soon, with Mitchell Santner expected to captain the team against the T20 World champions.
